the night race.

曲：Monsoon - Tokio Hotel
F1 was exhilarating. so exhilarating that I got a headache after that rushing back to hall. damn. it was a long race, and totally full of surprises you cnt help but heave a sigh of relief once the race was over. but im proud of the fact it was held in singapore, happy that it went well, in a way. singapore looked beautiful from the helicopter.
people say the singapore gp might easily turn out to be one of the toughest races on the F1 circuit, and i say, why not? F1 needs a bit more excitement than just lewis hamilton, innit. granted, ferrari had a horrible race tonight; vance and i were wondering if massa will start having nightmares abt the singapore circuit next season. and of course, with my penchant for japanese drivers, you cnt deny that kazuki nakajima raced a hard-earned gp. basically im just excited that the race was here. =) smiles.
i was looking at the best places to buy a ticket for next year, somehow i realised watching it from tv at home is still the clearest, you get an idea of everything. so the best conclusion is tt someone book a 7K box for me next year, equipped with tv, aircon, and food. so i get the best of both worlds. heh.
and lastly, from ITV:
come on lah, he's cute lahh. stop lying to yourselves.velda.
whoopee! recess!

F1!!!! it's freaking friday but i havent really cleared most of my backlog. i am so dead. hahah.. but seriously, ANYTHING for F1. i cnt wait to see how wonderful the track will look like on cameras, on tv. oooh my god. so fun! everyone's saying kimi raikkonen is dead as a fish lah, iceman lah. YAH what. that's why he's from finland right. you from finland not icy then what? hahah. i think i have a thing for scandinavian guys man. plus the swedish soccer team. heh.
actually, i realise i have nothing much to say, except about F1, really. im so boring. haha. i think im a bit high. on peanut butter waffle i guess. because ash pushed it to me and forced it down my throat, really.
its week EIGHT of uni life, that is fast, innit. sick. i think im getting more and more used to life here. and im surprised that you see people who fit in like a glove, but at the same time, everyone of us is struggling to feel comfortable in this environment.
to infinitives and beyond!

曲：永遠の途中 - w-inds.
this is the song i always listen to when im feeling alone. ashley and ben and doing work on the opposite side of the room so i dont really want to disturb them. its finally a thursday, but i dont feel happy at all. at least, not for now. its been another tiring week, because im looking at recess week next week, i guess. a strange sort of loneliness envelops me as i sit here, probably after reading a friend's entry on companionship and love, and having to share the same room now with a couple comfortable in each other's company, laughing, joking, whispering.
maybe the week is just getting to me - i dont know. i see how stressed cheryl is, and i worry for her. but i realise that perhaps its the same for me too - but ive gotten used to trying to block out time for myself. results have come out - i feel a bit not here not there, but i think whats done is done.
now i understand what matsu from EXILE meant when he was answering the question, "寂しい時は何をしますか？"
”もっと寂しいことをする”
souka. maybe that's how i am. to hide inside my shell.

no time.

曲；Something Good - Julie Andrews & Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music OST)
nothing comes from nothing
nothing ever could
so somewhere in my youthful childhood
i must have done something good.
i havent had time to blog! projects projects coming up now after all the quizzes, and hall commitments! but its still manageable, though looking at my list of backlog readings, i do take a step back. hahah. currently, its 7 chapters and journal papers. whoopee for me. need to start reading really soon. recess week has now turned into reading week, i think. clearing up the backlog!
thirty minutes before heading out to class - its nalaaaa today. just imagine last week i was stressing over damn MULTIPLE CHOICE questions. sian. im just gg to clear them out of my mind.
i miss the sound of music.

halfway thru weeksix.

曲：真心換絕情 - 吳宗憲
it was only yesterday that darryn POPed from bmt, but it seemed like a month has passed. today was a baddd day, and a long one at that. and its only 6pm! HG101 multiple choice test was the first test i have ever taken that had me scratching my head and trying to find the answers for all the questions by elimination. ALL of them. i didnt have a definite answer for any, not that i remember. no wonder bee said there was a range of scores from 80% to 20% the last year when she had the same test. >_<
after lecture i realised i have a small ulcer on the underside of my upper lip, which stinks because it hurts when i move my upper lip too much =(
then yuan spilled her laksa over herself. wahh i hate it when tt happens to me, if it ever happens to me. and quad laksa soup has loads of he bi in it, so it was horrible cleaning up. i tried to cheer the dreary day up with a bar of chocolate which sort of didnt work and gave me a cold sore on my lower lip now, which means im more dehydrated than before that bar of chocolate. =((
but yannick and french class cheered me up by a teeny bit, because french test wasnt that hard, and we were being lame. actually, I was being lame. like asking yannick if we could pretend one character in our dialogue was drunk, so his mistakes could be attributed to drunkenness. i wondered if there's such thing as L'île de Bintan, because tts what i wrote for one of the answers. yannick was so damn nice in the test lah, but if i say anything i think i will incriminate him. HAHA.
and now im back in hall, procrastinating, but having at least three things to do before sleep tonight, and one of tt is studying for dreaded 234 tmr. damn the test's gg to last 45 minutes, which means its gg to be hard. freak freak freak.
let me procrastinate for a while more, feeling tired as hell. please pass quickly, week 6.
velda.
quizzes...
September 8, 2008 | 9:55 AM
曲：벌써1년 - Brown Eyes
and u wonder how i made it through poly. there's three quizzes this week and im sitting here blogging and stoning. BUT i have been guai k. i spent 4 plus hours studying in the reading room downstairs, with rachel being sweet enough to study with me and pass me a quaker cookies and cream granola bar for encouragement. =) so im not behind, but im not ahead of my work either. thats usually my signal to stop and relax because my brain cnt fit any more information in anymore, anyways. just keep telling myself i have to get through this week, which actually isnt tt bad. quite used to worse stuff in poly le. i distinctly remember a 4-report-due week. PLUS presentations.
GOT milk?
more of got latte foam?, actually. but oh well. we were crappy. stole this from huiqi's blog because i thought it was rather cool. cool people sitting in gloria jean's in vivo. rahh.
wall-e was good, loved it muchos, and EVE looked so much like my pwetty little macbook here u cnt help but love her. and every robot in the damn show was cute. haha. i laughed a lot watching it. i lament the days disney princessed left our screens, but good animations like this one still rock my boat. =)
andy's pop this wednesday, finally. but i have QUIZZES a mercredi! save meee. wait.. is structure of modern english structure d'anglais moderne?
hmm.
velda.
la weekend.

曲：Somebody Needs You - Westlife
i havent had any time to blog at all, so im sort of stealing this short moment before i sleep to update. three quizzes next week, havent really started studying for any of it, and having two assignments of writing due is not helping. in addition to tutorials, lectures and revision. goodness. and i was just thinking ashley's having a heavier workload than me. sama sama lahh.
but i cnt wait for friday, when andy comes out. because i think friday night's when i can let my workload go, and just enjoy friday and saturday before it all comes back to hit me again on sunday.
something like tt. BEEEG GIANT paper prata doused in condensed milk = heaven. PLUS crispy. and its ulu (not yet discovered by general singapore population), so it was a damn good surprise.
last weekend was comex and basically it's squeeze-with-everyone-to-get-best-deals day. damn. it will be my first and last time at these it fairs. the crowd's horrendous, and everywhere you see flyers on the floors and people with whistles trying to get everyone's attention with jarring squeaks right next to your ear.
pardon the descriptive english, i just finished my Craft of Writing assignment; it grows on me.
but anyways, that's not the point. the point is, besides being comex day, it was hana yori dango final the movie day. with matsujun and oguri shun looking damnnnn good. empty plot, though, but character development is all what HYD is about, innit? haha. and new earphones day. they're in-ear earphones, and they look super like smarties or m&m's when placed into the ear.
even the packaging's cute. i bough dark pinkish to match my ipod. heh. =)
okay, im so freakishly tired right now. time to give up on second language acquisition studying and fall into bed.
velda.
